It's stories like the one I'm going to tell you now that, when I'm well, makes me thankful that I'm well.
Thursday, July 8 I began getting weak kneed and my stomach was rumbly that morning, by the afternoon I was "running" to the bathroom to sit a spell. Friday, July 9, found me pouring at both the top and bottom ends. Saturday, July 10, I went to the doctor's office and was diagnosed with a stomach flu--well DUH! They gave me a shot of Fenergen and sent me straight home, where I made it as far as the living room chair and I plopped down and fell asleep for about an hour or so, then I spent the rest of the day in the bathroom, literally, on the floor on a towel and a pillow.
That night I made it back to the living room to sit in my chair. Everyone knows that if I'm going to sleep long at all, I have to have a fan running in the background, so if I'm coming to your house you better have me a fan to run! Sunday morning about 3 am my fan that I bought for a quarter as a kid began making a "WROWR WROWR" noise, loud and siren like, so I shut if off, drove down to the local WalGreens--on both sides of the road--to buy another fan. Got home, turned it on, and went back to sleep. Woke up Sunday morning at 8 am sweating badly: my air conditioning went out!!
I had to go stay at a friend's house that day, and they believe in using natural light so it was too bright to sleep, nothing on t.v., so I read a book and comics that I took with me. I was lonely, bored, and miserable. Monday, July 12 I felt much better, very weak and dehydrated, but stayed home from work at my friend's house til my a/c was repaired. That afternoon, they fixed my a/c and I went home that night. All of Monday, though, my left side began spurts of burning sensations.
Tuesday morning, I get up and go to work and I enjoy my day at work, still weak but drinking fluids and taking it slow and easy. More burning in my left side and it's happening more frequently, but I just go to the bathroom thinking it has something to do with that, and get home and take GasX.
Wednesday morning about 2 am, the utilities go out in my neighborhood. From 2 am until 7 am I can't sleep because there's no utilities, no a/c, no fan. I get up at 8 and go to work. There are still burning sensations in my left side and they last longer. At about 4:30 that afternoon, I double over in the middle of my office floor, then as the pain subsides from a KIDNEY STONE ATTACK I call my mom (yes, ladies, you'll still be responsible for those kids when they're 32--unless they're married, but I'm not that dumb). She takes me to the emergency room and they shoot me up with some kind of something. The doctor says the dehydration from the stomach flu caused the kidney stone to dislodge and fall, thus the kidney stone attack. Wednesday night I'm at home again, doubled over in the floor crying from the pain of the kidney stone. I take probably more of my pain meds than I should have, and sleep.
Thursday morning, today, July whatever day this is now: I get up, with an uncomfortable pain in my left side, and I'm thirsty. I get a big glass of ice water and down it, then make my way to my pain pills, and take one small one. Sometime this morning I was able to go urinate for more than half a second...a full run actually...which means the kidney stone has passed!! YAY!!
Now, it's 5:23 pm CST and I feel 100% better than I have in 7 days. I hope it lasts longer than 1 day this time.
Anyways, don't this make most of ya'll's past 7 days sound better??
